Last Winter I was sick, a lot.
Cold after cold, it really feels like I was sick for the majority of the season. Even friends pointed out, “do you really have another cold?”. Couple that with the dreary feeling of a long cold Canadian Winter, I was a mess. You know those days when you just don’t want to get out of bed and that feeling of no-energy stays with you all day long? Yep, that was me most days. It was terrible.
Then the same friend that pointed out my constant illness brought forth an interesting point,
“Don’t you take vitamins?”.
Until then I really didn’t think about it. I had taken daily vitamins in the past, on and off mind you {they were disgusting horse-pills, no wonder I forgot for umm, months}. I thought I ate a reasonably balanced diet, so I just assumed it really wasn’t necessary. Was it?
After doing some research, I realized that no-one can be sure that their diet consists of all the necessary vitamins and minerals. Plus, HELLO, it was Canadian Winter – where’s the Vitamin D?! No wonder I dragged my sleepy self around for months.
I knew I wanted a good tasting daily vitamin, to help me remember. Yet I also wanted one that came recommended by friends.
For the first time I bought Adult Essentials Vitamins {I found a great sale plus free shipping, at Well.ca}.
Why I like Adult Essentials?
Long story short, I felt so much better within a week. I had much more energy, beat those Winter blahs and didn’t get another cold until my allergies kicked in this Spring. Really, I didn’t think that taking a vitamin daily could affect so much of my life. Yet it did.
Plus, they taste great kinda like dried fruit. They are all-natural, sweet and just delicious, and I haven’t forgotten a day since.
Need more info?
- Adult Essentials are pectin based, derived from plants so a great choice for vegetarians and ethnic groups who do not eat certain types of animal products. {the Adult EssentialsOmega 3 are gelatin/animal based though}.
- Adult Essentials lineup includes: Multi, Omega, B-Complex, B12 & Vitamin D
- Adult Essentials use only Natural flavours and colours. Nothing artificial, no sugar coating.
- Adult Essentials Gummies are Gluten Free and Nut Free
- Adult Essentials Multi is the 1st Multi to use 100% fish oil with the Multi with no fishy after taste
- Adult Essentials Omega Gummy uses 100% triple distilled fish oil, no contaminants. These ones don’t taste fishy either.
- Adult Essentials is only entire brand line approved by Health Canada
When I titled this post, ‘Adult Essentials’, that is what they are called. Yet rightly so, because as an adult that has seen astonishing results from taking these vitamins – they really ARE essential. I’m a true fan, and I don’t forsee a day when I won’t be taking them, no matter the season.
You can get yours online as I stated above or in Store 90 ct bottles at most: Rexall Pharma Plus, Metro, Sobeys, Loblaws/Real Canadian Super Stores, London Drugs and Shoppers Drug Mart.
Disclosure: I received product to facilitate this review, all opinions are my own.
